    Basal Lamina Composition

    • The bulk volume of the basal lamina is made up of proteoglycans.

    Role of Proteoglycans

    • Proteoglycans play a crucial role in the basal lamina by providing mechanical strength and filtration properties.

    Proteoglycan Structure

    • Long chains of glycosaminoglycans are attached to the protein core of proteoglycans.
